Dress Your Patriotic Table With an Easy DIY Runner

Our friends at Wayfair got in the warm-weather holiday spirit and dreamed up a few DIY ways to deck out your season of patriotic parties. We especially love their idea for a no-sew runner adorned with red-and-blue ribbon. Here's how you can recreate the look for your dining table or buffet. Vary the length and width of burlap and ribbon to your tastes and table size.

SUPPLIES

A piece of burlap long enough to drape over the length of your table

Wide ribbon

Scissors

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cut the burlap to your desired length and width. Leave the raw edges for a casual, rustic look.

2. Cut slits the width of the ribbon about 3 inches apart down the length of the burlap.

3. Weave the ribbon through the slits. Begin underneath the burlap so you can knot the ribbon on the underside of the runner.
